Installing Microsoft Natural kb with USB adapter?

My Asus P2B mb doesn't seem to see my MS Natural
PS2 kb when I use a USB adapter. I tried inserting it
after it boots up fine with the kb plugged into the
normal kb slot. Is this possible? I want to plug in the
kb/mouse/card reader/etc into a hub on my desktop
and have one USB wire going to the computer instead
of several.

Have you enabled "Legacy USB Support" in the motherboard's BIOS?

I'm not sure. But it reads my USB mouse and USB hub just fine. Would
that mean that it must be enabled?
